Was it Phuwin's first kiss ever? I don't remember if they kissed in FUTS

Ep 4 - I know it's a first kiss, but ugh.

I don't HATE what Phuwin is doing here, but I would say it's one of his weaker performances (and I've been a fan since "Cause You're My Boy"). I think he needs stronger direction.

I see this in BL all the time. People meet, then there's a time cut and they are all at dinner and eating (so obviously they've had time to serve the meal) and then finally someone says, "Oh by the way this is my invisible friend" It's absolutely ridiculous. Shows these BL writers are not in touch with reality at all.

Eesh. Ep 1 was hard to get through. They seem to forget the pandemic when they want to... so why introduce it at all? Also, Johnny randomly knows or doesn't know "modern" concepts inconsistently. Not liking the way the "angel" (whatever you call that guy who transported him through time and can inhabit others bodies randomly) shows up randomly and helps out like a fairy godmother. Second/office couple much more interesting than the leads. I am almost positive I will drop this, because I don't think I can sit through 20 eps, but I'll give it a few more before, in the hopes that the romance may be more interesting than the sci-fi elements. We shall see.

I don't understand it either. The length of an individual episode doesn't matter, as long as they have enough time to tell the story over the course of the entire series. And we've all watched 90 minute movies that were perfect, so these KBL's all have the time to tell satisfying stories.

Then I look forward to the real acting.

Well, I'll watch anything he's in. BL or otherwise. I think he's very talented and has incredible charisma.

I love Perth too, but I thought there was a rumor that he said he wasn't go to do BL anymore. Was that fake news?

Another poor adaptation. Good potential wasted. Oh well, at least there are 10 more every week to choose from.

Hmm. Intrigued by the first ep, especially all the mysteries revealed near the end. We'll see how this one plays out.

That's exactly what it looked like

I did not care for this one, and only finished it because the episodes were short and not many of them. Waaaaaay too much voice-over. Waaaay too much talking aloud to yourself when you're alone. Zero chemistry. Chan Bin was so stiff it was if he was still a 2D manga character. Poor direction, most importantly the confession scene, which they shot in single shots, rather than showing the couple TOGETHER. All of this filter around them, as i they were in a Hallmark commercial. And the eyelines were all wrong, so they appeared to be looking off to the side at the wall, rather than looking into the eyes of his beloved. Someone breaks their leg.... but they're in the hospital for weeks. What? You got the cast... go home. Everyone else in the world does it. And the big revelation... he liked him since middle school. So what? Who cares? Will never watch again - although Lee Do Ha is beautiful.

This was pretty good. I liked it more than many here. It had some serious flaws, but Andy Wu made me forgive every single one of them. He's so charming, even tho his character is a mess. Too many side couples that did not get their due screen time. Honestly, writers, just cut one of the couple and you could have satisfied us so much more. The sister and her husband made no sense to me. Came from out of nowhere - especially since he had just come onto her brother. Little A and the Delivery Guy were cute, but for what actually happened in their "relationship", we didn't need it at all. Even Alex and RJ were terribly underserved. So you'd think that would mean the MC would get special attention. Nope, Bai Lang's issues were entirely forgotten, Xun An's beating are a mere side mention, the horrible middle section where Bai Lang tries to set up Xun An was ridiculous. Dentists who don't seem to work, bar owners who don't seem to have customers (except when they throw parties for themselves). Like I said, lots of flaws. But once the couple was together, my how sweet they were. I won't watch this whole thing, but I will watch an occasional episode here and there - but only for Andy (ok, maybe a little for RJ).

I'm not a big fan yet. Find the scripting a bit forced. Interesting premise, from what I can glean. I'll give it a few more eps, but not sure how this one is gonna go.

Pet peeve... we're out of gas and in trouble. Go find some gas. Or wander aimlessly around a park singing love songs to each other. Ugh

This was cute, though I'm not really a fan of... what should we call it... anthropomorphized animals as lovers. But the characters were all likeable and JungWoo and Choco were simply gorgeous. Episode 11 seemed more fan service than anything, and I don't really like changing the rules of the world to give us a quasi-happy ending... cuz what's gonna happen? They leave and return every 100 days for the rest of their lives? JungWoo deserves a real, long-term partner. Still, cute and fluffy. I might revisit an ep or two to hang out with these cuties, but probably won't watch the whole series again. I look forward to GoHo Jung's next series. Hopefully it's another BL. And I'll watch Lee Jae Bin in anything. He's got tremendous charisma.

Like many here, I enjoyed parts of this, but found the vague "threats" and lack of a complete backstory, on top of the questionable editing, marred the production. I think it's a great premise, some decent acting. I like the unique setting and adult characters. But if you're gonna base a show on the inner workings of the publishing world, you should supply the necessary context for the audience to follow. JungWoo is ostracized because he criticized corruption in the industry (was this specifically ghostwriting? they don't really explain). I'm sure Korea is different than the USA, but here that writer would be praised. People aren't often punished for telling the truth. And his writing would take precedence over any "scandal". Then Jung Hyun (the most popular writer in the country... who apparently has only mediocre writing skills) steals JungWoo's novels and puts his own name on them. And somehow they blame JungWoo??? Again, if they blamed anyone, it would be Jung Hyun for stealing someone else's writing and putting his name on it. They wouldn't really blame the ghostwriter. Jung Hyun keeps saying that JungWoo is going to be hurt if he tries to publish a new novel. Hurt how? By being ostracized again? That seems to be the only possible threat. He's been in agony for 3 years, do you really think that's a threat to him? Then all the back and forth between the publishing companies, the editors, the shifting alliances... none of it really made much sense to me. The whole ending where JungWoo was forced to go back to his old publisher, but then backs out just seemed unnecessary. Both the publisher and Jung Hyung were fairly despicable characters (but they needed villains, so I guess that's ok - but you wonder how JungWoo ever fell for Jung Hyun is he's such an a**. In the end, it was the two handsome leads, some adorable smiles, some super rushed courting and some horrible kisses that were all I was left to hold onto. A mediocre effort that I will not watch again.

Yes, it's clearly a directorial choice. And a poor one.
